Like a ghost chasing her, Zhao Xixi ran fast with her short legs. She ran to the kindergarten next door, greeted the teachers without stopping, and hurried to the classroom!
When she arrived at the classroom, she saw the tiger cub waiting for her. Zhao Xixi immediately hugged the tiger cub and said happily, “I'm so smart today! I was so smart last night, too!”
Little Xixi told the tiger cub about how she had cheated several adults last night and a teacher this morning.
The tiger cub was stunned for a moment, and he rubbed Zhao Xixi's chin with his ears. Zhao Xixi immediately hugged the little tiger's head and rubbed the little tiger vigorously. They hugged each other just like two ordinary human cubs.
When Teacher Tao Hua came, she saw this scene. Every time she saw this situation, she thought that Zhao Xixi, a human cub, had been born into the wrong race.
But she still remembered the business and gave the book in her arms to Zhao Xixi: “Xixi, Xixi, we have printed the book.”
Zhao Xixi was blank for a while, then immediately realized what the teacher was saying, and her eyes lit up suddenly!
Zhao Xixi: “Teacher! Is it the "My Best Friend" book?”
Teacher Tao Hua was happy too when she saw her so happy. Zhao Xixi quickly flipped through the book and soon found a picture.
There is a little tiger drawn on it with money in his mouth, and he gave it to the child next to him.
At first glance, from the drawing of the little tiger in the book, others can tell that this is the tiger cub. But the drawing of the child only has one view from her back to show that she is a human child, so others can't tell that it is Zhao Xixi at all.
The entire picture is lit in a warm yellow light. The illustrator drew it so carefully, and one can feel the healing just from looking at the drawing.
Zhao Xixi looked at the drawing stupidly, and Teacher Tao Hua's heart skipped a beat for a while. In fact, they especially drew the tiger cub so realistically, but Zhao Xixi's drawing did not look like Zhao Xixi at all. Because this book is from the monster side, it means to promote both humans and monsters’ relationships. It is absolutely impossible to draw Zhao Xixi realistically. If the illustrator draws her realistically, it will definitely cause her a lot of trouble.
Teacher Tao Hua felt a bit uncomfortable. She was worried that Zhao Xixi would be unhappy.
However, as a result, Teacher Tao Hua saw Zhao Xixi hugging the tiger cub in the next second. Then Zhao Xixi excitedly said, “Tiger Cub, Tiger Cub, look! This is us! This is you, and this is me!”
Zhao Xixi narrowed her eyes with a smile and added, “I'm so pretty, and I'm still wearing a skirt!”
Zhao Xixi is a little chubby, and she is too active, so she seldom wears skirts in the summer, but she likes skirts very much. And now the drawing of her in the book shows her as a slim little girl in a skirt. She is so happy!
Teacher Tao Hua: “…” Sure enough, it is impossible to judge a child's psychology from an adult's perspective.
Then Zhao Xixi sat on the table next to the tiger cub and said to Teacher Tao Hua, “Teacher, please read this!”
Zhao Xixi pointed to the text above the book.
Teacher Tao Hua was, of course, so happy. So she pointed to the words and read them one by one: “My best friend… My best friend is called Tiger Cub. He has two round ears, a nose, a mouth, and a pair of big eyes. His golden yellow eyes are so beautiful.”
The illustrator really wrote the front of the story according to what Zhao Xixi had said before, but the latter part of the story is definitely not as dry as Zhao Xixi said previously—he gave me money; he is my best friend—that's all.
Several monster teachers had written this article together. It was more seriously discussed than the graduation thesis back then. They knew a lot about things between Zhao Xixi and Tiger Cub, so they polished it up by writing that the two cubs always played together despite being isolated by the other cubs. The teachers also wrote all about Zhao Xixi grooming the tiger cub and then "her" wish to pick up plastic bottles and discarded wires with the tiger cub. They picked up plastic bottles and discarded wires and then sold them for money. The desire to find the tiger cub's mother has led them to save the money they earn by picking up the plastic bottles and discarded wires every day.
The last part of the story is the climax; "she" is sick, and finally the tiger cub gives her all the money he has saved before.
The teachers in the office had discussed this part of the story for a long time. Mostly because they were considering that if they directly wrote about Zhao Xixi's family's bankruptcy, then it would definitely be suspicious if her parents and the others saw it.
So they had to alter it a bit.
After Zhao Xixi listened to the story, her tears fell, and then she hugged her best friend beside her and said, “Tiger Cub!”
Although the little tiger didn't speak, he rubbed his head against the human cub's face.
Teacher Tao Hua: “…” I'm so jealous! Why don't I have such a good friend?
Then Teacher Tao Hua thought of another thing. She had to figure out a way to find out who Wu Jie was and what her relationship was with Tiger Cub.
After Teacher Tao Hua left, Little Xixi was still very excited. Although she was so excited, she still didn't forget the two important things to do every day: “Tiger Cub, sit still, and I'll brush your fur.”
Zhao Xixi took out the little pink comb she had put in her schoolbag and brushed the little tiger's fur gently, stroke by stroke.
After combing, Little Xixi said with a bit of strangeness, “Tiger Cub, you have lost a lot of fur here.”
As Zhao Xixi spoke, she gently touched the tiger cub's neck with her little finger to expose where the white skin was.
At this moment, the tiger cub remembered: In order to save Zhao Xixi, he came out of the place where he was hiding yesterday, but then someone approached to beat him. He didn't know what the man was holding, and the man used it to beat him. It was a very sharp thing underneath, which had cut a wound on the tiger cub’s neck. A lot of blood had flown out, but he was too anxious yesterday, so he didn't pay attention to this matter. After the tiger cub returned home, he was also thinking about the human cub, so he forgot about his injury.
It's just…is the wound already healed?
The tiger cub touched his neck with his paw, not knowing what was going on.
Fortunately, Zhao Xixi didn't need an answer. She pulled the tiger-striped clothes on the tiger cub to cover the place where a lump of fur was missing.
After combing the hair, Zhao Xixi let the tiger cub open his mouth wide again. She tried to look at the teeth, but they were still fleshy gum; the teeth still hadn't grown out.
However, Zhao Xixi is not in a hurry because one younger brother needs ten months of pregnancy, and these two teeth must be needed much longer than that.
So Zhao Xixi said, “Teeth, oh, teeth… We are waiting for you to grow out.”
The lion cub saw this scene when he came in. Recently, his father taught him every day not to fight with the human cub. But still, he couldn't help showing his small fangs and said wistfully, “Just look, even if the teeth grow out, they won’t be as long as mine.”
Zhao Xixi immediately covered the tiger cub's mouth with her small hand, as if to prevent the teeth from hearing. Then she fiercely said to the lion cub, “Don't talk nonsense in front of the teeth!”
“Your teeth are not as long as Tiger Cub's! In the future, the tiger cub's teeth will grow so long!” Said Zhao Xixi while pointing to the book next to her.
Not to be outdone, the lion cub pointed at the table while saying, “Then, when I grow up, my teeth will grow as long as the table!”
Zhao Xixi: “Tiger Cub’s teeth can grow as long as the classroom!”
Lion Cub: “My teeth can grow as long as the school!”
Zhao Xixi's face blushed, and she argued thickly: “Tiger Cub’s teeth can grow as long as the Yangtze River! The Yangtze River is the longest river in the world!”
Now, the lion cub's eyes turned red, and he couldn't think of anything longer than that.
The bearded teacher outside the door almost laughed out loud.
So Zhao Xixi, like a little rooster fighting for victory, held her head high and said, “There will be nothing longer than this!”
The uneducated lion cub could only snort and return to his seat.
And at this moment, the tiger cub sneaked up to Zhao Xixi's ear and whispered, “The Yangtze River is so long. What if my teeth don't grow that long?”
“Hush,” Zhao Xixi whispered, “No one's teeth can grow so long. Think about it. It would be inconvenient to eat if they had grown so long.”
The tiger cub nodded in agreement and breathed a sigh of relief.
The bearded teacher is a monster after all and has better hearing. After he heard that, he laughed until his beard trembled.
In other words, the human cub was bragging to the lion cub just now—Tiger Cub's teeth can grow as long as the Yangtze River!
The little tiger beside her was very pragmatic and thought, I cannot.
When school was over in the afternoon, Zhao Xixi heard her father talking when he was calling someone: “No, even after school, I also didn't see the child. I didn't see it after school. I asked other people in the community as well, but it seems like the child never existed.”
Zhao Xixi: “…” I am so happy today.
Immediately afterward, words from the uncle over there made Zhao Xixi nervous: “Did you see today's hot search?”
Father Zhao: “What? I came to pick up my daughter after I got off work, and I hadn't seen anything on the internet yet.”
The uncle over there said, “I don't know who created that kindergarten book. It has illustrations and text. It's a story about the friendship between a human child and a little tiger. You can tell at a glance that it is talking about the new cub nursery! It is really untrue!”
Zhao Xixi knew what he was talking about as soon as she heard it. And she felt a bit guilty because the following paragraph was false. It was about illness or something.
She gently bumped her little head against the crash seat to ease her embarrassment.
Father Zhao in the front feels a bit strange: “It must be fake. This kindergarten has only been open for two months, whereas the review and printing of books take time. How could they have completed it in just two months? They must have prepared it before.”
Zhao Xixi: “…” Not really.
Father Zhao said, “No one should believe it, right?”
The uncle over there said, “The strange thing is that they all believed it. They should have bought the internet navy.”
Father Zhao told Mother Zhao about this when he got home. The couple sat on the sofa and went online. Father Zhao was looking through the online comments, only to discover that this was definitely an internet navy. And it was definitely a navy bought by the monsters because it was too obvious!
Father Zhao hasn't read the entire story yet, but he saw a summary, which is about the little monster saving money to treat a human cub. So, Father Zhao thought that, as far as the story is concerned, obviously the little protagonist did nothing at all. It was the little monster who was very kind to the little protagonist.
The little monster even gave all the money that he had saved before, so he could find his mother, to the protagonist for her medical treatment. But the online comments are almost crushingly overwhelming.
“Best human cub in the world! No objection!”
“Hug my cub! From now on, everyone will know how cute our cub is! I really envy the little tiger!”
“Envy Little Tiger +1”
Isn't this obvious? A group of monsters wants to tell humans in this way: Ah, we actually like you very much!
It's just that there are still many people who are taking notice and digesting this story! They find this story very touching.
Father Zhao was so angry that his eyes were slanted, and his nose was crooked!
Then he turned around and saw her daughter bringing a glass of water with a smile, and she said in a childish voice, “Dad, drink more water!”
Then she brought water to her mother too, who was looking at the mobile phone next to Father Zhao, and said in the same childlike voice, “Mom too, drink some hot water.”
Mother Zhao raised her head and looked at her well-behaved daughter in disbelief. But seeing her daughter holding a glass full of water, for fear that the water would pour out, she still took the water glass. Then she looked at Zhao Xixi's enormous eyes and said, “Baby, what is your wish?”
Zhao Xixi blinked her eyes, as if she didn't understand why her mother would ask this question. Actually, she really didn't understand either.
Seeing her like this, Mother Zhao almost believed her.
Father Zhao felt a bit strange, so he asked, “Why did you suddenly ask Baby this? Isn't it her wish to pick up discarded wires and plastic bottles with Fu Zai?”
Then Mother Zhao handed the phone to Father Zhao, who was beside her. From the screen phone, at the above of the article, is the original text of the story—"I like Tiger Cub so much. When I grow up, I want to pick up plastic bottles and discarded wires with him!"
